The project studies three important domains which highlight physical Human-Robot Interaction involved in assisting humans in the home and workplace: (1) human guidance through cluttered environments using physical contact, (2) cooperative carrying of large objects through complex and dynamic environments, and (3) robot assisted sitting and getting up. This is accomplished through the evolution of an experimental single-wheel mobility platform into an autonomous robot that is instructed and guided by people in a natural way.Such systems are needed in many public health domains, including care for the elderly, rehabilitation and assistive programs. Project results are incorporated into coursework offered by two different departments at CMU, and exposes students to unique robot planning, control and Human-Robot Interaction issues. High school students are introduced to this area as part of the Andrew Leap program. Students from underrepresented groups participate through the ARTSI program. Results may be presented in cooperation with museums or entertainment companies.

该项目研究了三个重要领域，这些领域强调了在家庭和工作场所中帮助人类的物理人机交互：(1)通过物理接触在混乱环境中进行人类引导，(2)在复杂和动态环境中协作搬运大型物体，以及(3)机器人辅助坐下和起床。这是通过将实验性的单轮移动平台演变为由人以自然方式指导和引导的自主机器人来实现的。许多公共卫生领域都需要这样的系统，包括老年人护理、康复和辅助项目。项目成果被纳入CMU两个不同部门提供的课程，并使学生了解独特的机器人规划，控制和人机交互问题。作为安德鲁飞跃计划的一部分，高中生被介绍到这个地区。来自弱势群体的学生通过ARTSI项目参与。结果可能会与博物馆或娱乐公司合作呈现。
